'Roger Vignoles is a most sympathetic accompanist, and virtuosic where virtuosity is called for, and the whole set is at one with Duparc's own evaluat ...'For a disc of all 17 of Duparc's melodies, the clear first choice is Sarah Walker and Thomas Allen' (BBC Music Magazine)» More

The grass is soft to sleep on beneath the cool poplars, On the slopes of mossy springs Which, in the flowery meadows, rise by a thousand outlets And are lost beneath the dark thickets.

Rest, oh Phidylé. The midday sun shines through the leaves and invites you to sleep—

Alone amid the clover and the thyme in the sun’s full light where the humming bees hover. A warm fragrance pervades the winding paths; the red flowers in the corn droop their heads, and the birds, skimming the hillside with their wings, seek the shade of the wild rose bushes. Rest, oh Phidylé.

But when the sun, low on his shining curve, sees his brilliance dimmed, let your loveliest smile and most ardent kiss reward my waiting!
